Hot on the heels of Bethz's post about a new use for magazine files comes a great question about making your own:
"Hello AT!
I came across an online article about making magazine boxes out of cereal boxes. The tutorial said you could use decorative paper, wrapping paper, or wallpaper. I bought some nice wallpaper at the Habitat for Humanity in my town for $1 but was wondering what type of glue would be best to make sure it holds up well for wallpaper onto paperboard? Also, should I reinforce the cereal boxes with some extra cardboard?"

Spray mount- hands down! Pick up a bottle of 3M be sure to stick the paper on right the first time.
how about "yes paste"? $8.68 for a 1 pint jar

from their website:
"Great for book altering, paper layering, scrapbooking and more. Ultra thick paste consistancy keeps it where it's needed and does not leave bubbles and wrinkles behind. Water based clear when dry, non-toxic, slow to set, recyclable and acid free for archival work. Use on paper, leather, cloth, tin, wood, imitation leather, glass, metal and printed surfaces. 1 Pint Jar. By Gane ADH0901."

This seems the right place to post a similar question, I was given a few old cardboard magazine/file boxes from work and want to cover them in some fabric. Anyone have any ideas what type of glue to use for that?
Modpodge. It's a glue, sealer and finish. I don't think you need to reinforce the cereal boxes unless you subscribe to Leadweights Quarterly. There's one just for fabric as well. Fabric's a big pain to get smooth.
We had something like this a few weeks back. I don't like the idea of it. Is it really durable?
